    chrome used to be good. Emphasis on the past tense.

    Firefox was always good. Chrome was very briefly better. Firefox has not suffered enshittification like chrome did.

      This. Firefox has always been just good. It wasn’t great or anything, it was just a good browser. Then chrome came around and it had more, better features. It was a bit more memory usage, but those were for the additional features Firefox didn’t have.

      Firefox didn’t really change a whole lot, it added synching features across accounts, and didn’t get worse. It just stayed the same.

      The people made Firefox better, because now they’re creating add-ons for Firefox, where chrome had more.

      I feel like once chrome got the majority of browser users, it immediately started going to shit. I have no proof of this, just a memory of it being better until it was announced that chrome was the most used browser, and the near immediate heavier memory usage.

      firefox is going on a steady decline more recently with ads on the homepage by default, plus new telemetry being introduced. hopefully it can change direction
